How Much PDA Is Too Much PDA?

Public displays of affection have long been a touchy topic, pun intended.

So, how much PDA is too much PDA?

It depends where you are.

How much PDA is too much PDA at work?

Any PDA is too much PDA at work.

Sorry, those are the rules.

If your partner stops by your office with lunch, maybe a quick peck is okay.

Work is a professional place.

Whether your colleagues know about your inter-office romance or not, its not a good look.

Now, maybe more than ever, keeping a little structure in your life is key.

Only you know your family and what will fly in front of them.

Have you ever seen an episode ofKeeping Up With the Kardashians?

That family talks about their sex lives all the time with no problem.

The sisters have even waxed one another.

Consider, too, what messages youre trying to giveyourkids about physical touching.

Like, Ive seen them kiss twice in my 29 years of life.

But my boyfriend and I kiss and hug at home in front of our kids all the time.

Consider the setting, too.

Here is where you could cut loose a little bit!

People get touchy-feely at the bar all the time.

Context matters here, of course.

An upscale wine bar isnt the spot for full-on canoodling, but a dive bar might be more appropriate.

Movie theaters have long been the go-to destination of PDA seekers because theyre dark and quiet.

Relive your high school days by getting a little action at a matinee.

That seems safe enough.

Of course, put yourself in someone elses shoes.

All of that is fine.

Too much PDA starts with anything in pants, in my opinion.

Keep your hands visible and there will be no problems!

One trick is to save all your groping for your final goodbye.

People tend to be more forgiving of PDA if you and your partner part ways afterward.
